I attempted this last year but inadvertantly got engaged and thus distracted but now I'm back, still engaged, and eager to give it another go. Currently I'm testing some kit and working out the logisics. There are various things to consider; how not to freeze to death, how to spend time with my fiance, how not to get carried away by an avalanche / yeti and how to not let this interfere with my job.

A cunning plan m'lord

I have had an idea.

Note that I don't say that it is a good idea or a bad idea, just that it is an idea. Tomorrow I will be able to say whether the idea was good or bad. I'm going to have another go at sleeping in the Hammock, it might well be warm enough by now, it might not.

Here's a jammy tip - Tie string from the guy ropes of your Hammock, at each end, close to the actual hammock material trailing down to the ground. This way any water running down the guy ropes will be diverted to the ground rather than soaking the hammock and you!
